Hay fever/pollen allergy.........I love it!

Provided I use anti-histamine eyedrops I can tolerate the runny nose and sneezing bouts, I never let hay fever influence my activities, I do what I’ve done for years and just get on with things.

I much prefer spring and summer to winter, I dislike cold weather and I’m far happier when the weathers warm and dry. As I associate hay fever with summer I look forward to getting all the symptoms. Maybe that’s a slight exaggeration but there’s a thread of logic to it. Summer’s for getting out there, walking and running, driving the open car, can’t let hay fever get in the way. Today includes 30 miles in the MG this morning, then running early evening , I never even think about pollen levels, just get on with it.

I used to eat honey over the winter, never sure whether it helped but it didn’t do harm. All anti- histamine medication made me sleepy so I gave up trying years ago, some folks seem to tolerate them but I don’t.
